A number of Dallas Cowboys players are suffering from illnesses this week as the team gets ready to play the Buffalo
Bills on Sunday. Last week, during the Cowboys’ crucial victory against the Philadelphia Eagles to take the lead in the
NFC East, star pass rusher Micah Parsons battled the illness.
The NFC top seed and a bye are up for grabs for the Cowboys, Eagles, and 49ers of San Francisco. From this point
until Week 18, every game matters for their postseason standing.
This weekend’s game between the Cowboys and the Bills will be difficult. Charean Williams of NBC Sports reports
that three players washed out of Thursday’s practice:
However, injuries prevented cornerback Stephon Gilmore, receiver Jalen Tolbert, and receiver Brandin Cooks from
practicing on Thursday. Cooks took a partial rest day on Wednesday by skipping team practice, and Gilmore did not
practice as part of a load management rest day.
In Week 15, a plague of ailments is plaguing the Cowboys locker room. It is reasonable to suppose that additional
Cowboys players may experience illnesses in the near future, given the contagious nature of illnesses like the flu
Parsons had.
Despite having the flu, Parsons was still able to perform effectively in the game against the Eagles. He had a sack and
two tackles in the end. Will it be possible for the remaining ailing Cowboys to perform similarly?
